After the Dragon Boat Festival's 3-day holiday ended on the 10th, it marks the end of all holidays for the year until the next one during the 2025 Spring Festival. However, observant netizens noticed that during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, by taking 1 day off on the right dates, it's still possible to enjoy two 4-day weekends. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are separate holidays to avoid excessive makeup workdays as seen in 2023. By strategically taking days off on September 16th and October 11th alongside the existing weekends, individuals can achieve a 4-day break twice. In 2025, most major holidays fall on Fridays or Mondays, providing long weekends without extra leave. Opportunities for extended breaks include taking 3 days off from March 31st to April 2nd for a 9-day Qingming Festival holiday and similarly syncing the Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays from October 7th to 9th to enjoy a continuous 9-day holiday.

According to The Economist, local fast food chains in China are rising to defeat Western giants like McDonald's and KFC, citing two main reasons: China's economic slowdown leading to 'downgrading consumption' and a comeback from second and third-tier cities. The report highlights local chains incorporating regional cuisines like Beijing roast duck or mapo tofu instead of beef, proving successful by opening numerous new outlets. These chains offer competitive prices, targeting less affluent areas where residents are willing to spend more on food and beverages, outshining foreign competitors.

Recently, three foreign judges of Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal have announced their resignations, with one British judge, Lord Sumption, pointing out in a published article that the oppressive political atmosphere in Hong Kong is preventing judges from making independent judgments, leading to a crisis in the rule of law. The judges' resignations reflect concerns over the influence of China on Hong Kong's judicial system, as well as issues with the National Security Law, limitations on judicial independence, and the closing of democratic media outlets and arrests of dissenting voices in Hong Kong, creating a stifling atmosphere reducing the judiciary's ability to protect freedoms and potentially turning Hong Kong into an authoritarian state.

Taiwan's stock market surged to a new high of 22,003.71 points led by TSMC (2330) on June 11, but shipping giants like Evergreen (2603), Yang Ming (2609), and Wan Hai (2615) experienced a significant plunge. These top three shipping companies began to sharply decline during mid-morning, with Evergreen falling below 200 points, down over 8%. Market analysts attribute this to fluctuations in European shipping rates, as the freight index (Europe Line) recently plummeted and reached a decrease of over 9%. This may have resulted from a UN Security Council resolution on the Gaza Strip conflict, increasing pressures on future contracts and impacting current trends.
